[QUOTE="Emelee, post: 63836, member: 73"] It's becoming more and more obvious. Trump and the European leaders are not getting along. After a recent meeting with Trump, Angela Merkel (Germany) said: "The times when we could completely rely on others are, to an extent, over". That Europe has to stand strong alone. Meanwhile, France's new President Emmanuel Macron had a slightly cold meeting with Trump. A battle of power handshake for instance, squeezing Trump's hand until it turned white (knowing the tactics Trump uses to show power during shakes). Macron has confirmed it was no usual handshake, that it was "a moment of truth". He went on to compare Trump to Putin & Turkey's Erdogan. "Donald Trump, the Turkish president or the Russian president see relationships in terms of a balance of power." And the Pope has been giving Trump political advice, as he has not appreciated some of Trump's actions. The UK's Theresa May on the other hand appears more like a Trump puppet. Although she did get angry when the FBI revealed secret Scotland Yard information to media. However, she's also defended Trump on him recently giving Russia secret intelligence. But as The UK is exiting the EU, they need The US now more. So I get that she wants to play nice. And Russia's Putin is of course secretly celebrating, as he really hates the NATO alliance. The weaker NATO gets, the better for Russia. And Trump is of course saying that everything is great. It's not. Far from it. With the bond between USA & Europe getting weaker, it paves the way for others to swoop in and cash in. [/QUOTE]
